dir. Yakov Protazanov
Soviet Union, 1924, digital, B&W, silent, 120 min
Though the main focus of the story is the daily lives of a small group of people during the post-war Soviet Union, the enduring importance of the film comes from its early science fiction elements. It primarily tells of a young man, Los, traveling to Mars in a rocket ship, where he leads a popular uprising against the ruling group of Elders, with the support of Queen Aelita who has fallen in love with him after watching him through a telescope.
With live musical accompaniment by Cabeza De Vaca Arcestra!
